I work in the networking industry and know quite a few CSCO engineers... I know as of 3 weeks ago they were very scared about making this quarter. But, they did some things like stuffing channels and politically stealing deals (typical CSCO) and made the quarter. Interesting. Since when do engineers do accounting at Cisco? That seems a little odd. And stuffing the channels? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't CSCO avoid channels by selling directly from their web site? Of course, I am probably wrong, but I coulda swore.... Justin

But, they did some things like stuffing channels and politically stealing deals (typical CSCO) and made the quarter. Don't assume that because you're "in the industry" you know more than everyone else here. You might be surprised at what some of the people here do for a living. > Now for all you CSCO bigots who don't know squat about their products and spew ego venom because you're riding the freight train, I think the comments about me are unnecessary. I would think I've forgotten more about networking products than most of you will ever know. Whenever someone resorts to "mine's bigger than yours" comments, it's generally a sign that they can walk the walk, but can't talk the talk. Whether it's true in your case or not remains to be seen. - Eric

Cisco does not inform their employee's regarding earnings. Employee's there have no insight....not the least of which are the engineers. So, your sources are as much in the dark as we all are. OG

At-a-boy, you're getting a little defensive aren't you? I just asked you to explain your comment. When I read your comment I thought that you either had inside info or you were a typical Cisco bear who hammers the company for no reason. But as it turns out you have inside info. Very good. I am satisfied. Now as to the stock price, I agree with others here that this stock is way ahead of itself. It's a good thing most of us bought in several years ago, so we have low avg prices, because this and other stocks are sure to tank in the next few months. The stock market is way out of control and due for a correction. If the FOMC raises interest rates tomorrow, that will be the beginning. To be honest with you, I hope they do it too. I have cash and am waiting for good companies like Cisco to come back down to earth so I can buy even more. And for those of us who are longs, we should all pray that there is NOT a stock split announced in a few minutes. That would just exacerbate the problem. But one is not likely given Chambers view on how his stock should behave.
